Nowadays,Wayang Topeng is undergoing a change, from a routine event to be a show for tourists held by one of the hotels in Malang city. The change, in the performance’ format from a stage show into a tourism packagingshow, made the Wayang Topeng to experience a shift in its valuesand original meanings. It is suspected that it has shifted the cultural value ?that were once a traditional culture to the direction of mass culture. This phenomenon is seen not only as an adjustment to the media format, but as a form of commodification.
